I picked up a copy of the new Indiana Jones set. I was curious about the motorcycle to be honest. It looked like a different fairing that had printing on it. It does and it looks A-OK on the bike frame. I bet that bike turns up in many mocs once it gets some market penetration. There were a new dark brown torso for the native warriors who hide in the cemetary, as well as a new two sided head. Indy has the same brown jacket and pants as many sets and he has the open mouthed grin that he has in the mine ride set. I 
haven't bought that yet. Not sure if I will, other than through some neurotic need to collect all the sets. The Mutt minifig is the same as the other sets. Still he's got that great hair piece and that nice black jacket. The minifig has the potential to be cooler than the actor. I actually built this set and brought it to the TwinLUG meeting so people could take a look see. It has a bit of stonework around the tombs, which have some moving parts, and there is a crystal skull and a skeleton. A nice mix of blay and tan pieces, as well as a couple of large reddish brown plates. Some plants and a few minifig accessories. There's only 187 parts in this 20 dollar set. I guess they are compensating for the nice new motorcycle. Certainly not a disappointment in any way. I just parted it out last night and the two new Indy sets and the SpongeBob set I got for half price added a nice bit to my building stock. Now what to build next?
